The votes are in on the tomato trials. We had buckets of tomatoes this year, even with the grueling heat - 26 days (and counting) over 100 degrees. And still I have tomatoes ripening, though none are flowering or setting new fruit.
I took this photo last week of some of the different colored tomatoes from our garden. The green tomato (that was one tomato) is Aunt Ruby's German green. Really good for fried tomatoes and not bad for eating fresh, with a tangy flavor. The orange tomato is really yellow(the photo color is off) one of my favorites, Lemon Boy. It produced really well this year with large, juicy, very flavorful mild tomatoes.
The best tomato for us this year was Park's Whopper, recommended by a customer. It always had 3 to 6 very large, red tomatoes at a time. It won all our taste tests with our friends. I will definitely grow a couple of these each year.
